Surprise! Haha! I managed to find some time to write during my flight and before bedtime. It's kinda difficult to get proper wifi because I'm always going somewhere by car. So, after this, I'll update next Monday! Have fun!

Simmi: Papa, sorry but it's ladies matter. When the time finally comes, I myself will tell you. And syayad aap bhooli gayi, main legal hoon. (And maybe you're forgetting, I'm legal) I've already passed 18 years old. I hope you don't take it too hard on yourself. I love you too. Maa let's go we're getting late.

Toshi: Haa haa chalo (Yes yes come)

Simmi drove to the hospital. They asked the receptionist and got to know that Ishita was shifted to the normal ward. When they went there, Madhu told Simmi that Pathak just went home after seeing Vishwa and Madhu coming. Simmi introduced Toshi to them and the duo went to visit Ishita. Ishita opened her eyes when she heard the sound of the opening door. She saw Simmi and Toshi.

Simmi: Maa, Ishita. Ishita, meet mumma. First time seeing na?

Ishita: Hi aunty. Pehle main dekha tha. (I've seen before)

Simmi: Kahan? (Where)

Ishita: Facebook.

She smiled a bit. She was about to adjust her sitting posture when Toshi helped her with it.

Toshi: It's okay puttar lie down.

Ishita: No aunty, I've been lying ever since yesterday, my back aches. Aunty come na sit on the bed. Simmi, aao na. (Simmi come)

They sat on the bed as Ishita said. Toshi caressed her cheek lovingly. It was the first time she saw Ishita. She loved her humble character. She wondered how Raman could neglect a beautiful girl like her. Sometimes she couldn't understand her own son. A thousand thoughts were running in her mind. She started caressing Ishita's forehead.

Toshi: Kaise ho puttar? (How are you child?) I was worried when Simmi told me she came back from the hospital yesterday. I insisted that I'll meet you today itself.

Ishita: Mai theek hoon aunty. (I'm fine aunty) Aunty you're so sweet, thank you for visiting. But aunty, you're coming from a wedding house, there'll be a lot of work na? Matlab aapka betha aur bahu ka rituals.... (I mean your son and your daughter-in-law's rituals)

Ishita wiped a lone tear which didn't go unnoticed by Toshi and Simmi. Toshi felt her heart aching when she saw that tear.

Simmi: Ishita how many times have I told you not to talk about Ram....

She stopped halfway after realizing that according to Ishita, Toshi doesn't know anything about Ishita liking Raman.

Toshi: Oye chup kar. (Oye keep quiet) Don't scold Ishita. You scold her, I'll scold you, mind it. And Ishita, don't worry, uncle and our flat mates Pammi and the others will be there to help. Neelu is also there to help with the work so let it be. And haa, you took dentistry hai na? (And yaa, you took dentistry right?) Where is your posting gonna be?

Ishita: I don't know aunty, I applied overseas. If I get, I'll go without thinking twice. I'm just waiting for the chance.
